Re: WW II question about soldiers using gliders 2 land

Jesse-- The number 32 does not correspond to any Airborne/Gliderborne outfit in the ETO in WW2.You need to find out what his unit patch looked like.Red square with blue circle inside and letters AA; or Black shield with Eagles Head.These would be the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions respectively. Now about the only thing "32" about the Airborne is the designation of the glider units.In the 82nd it was the 325th and in the 101st it was the 327th.Maybe they dropped a number in telling the story? Both units participated in Normandy.
